BSA Rocket III description
|
1969 BSA Rocket 3 A75R - pulled from basement of church, engine and frame numbers are matching, also both halfs of crankcase casings #'s match, motor moves freely with compression, gears shift OK, has front and rear end from 1970's Trident. Engine cases, rocker boxes and other parts are chromed ( see pics ) and rear frame loop for seat mount has been cut about 2.75" shorter from shock mount back - probably to accomodate a different seat but not sure - easy fix - just weld in new piece of tube on each side of loop. Some tabs and mounts look to be incorrect and will need to be fixed - again something easy to do. The 1969 shop manual has all the diagrams and measurements you need to make these repairs to the frame. Bike is being sold as is, where is with clean and clear title/ownership. see pictures for details. centre stand is included but may be hard to see in pictures.

The US Border Services requires you to complete a very simple form and submit to them at least 72 hours before you bring motorcycle across the border ( actually, I had someone purchase a old Norton from me and he was able to take across border without the paperwork done - did not get hassled - I still advise the paperwork be done just to insure smooth transition across border. The bike is located about 2.5 hours north from the Niagara Falls NY border, 4 hrs from Windsor/Sarnia Canadian border - 0.5 hour north of Toronto |

2014 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Concourse d’ Elegance Report
Wed, 06 Aug 2014The 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show continued its now 23-year tradition as the premier outdoor streetbike event in America with producer photographer Jim Gianatsis moving the show this year to the beautiful green lawns of the Malibu Golf Course among the twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains alongside the Pacific Ocean. Highlighting this year’s exciting activities was the emergence of another new and soon to be renown custom bike builder to the sport for which the Calendar Show is known for cultivating. Taking Best of Show in this year’s Calendar Bike Building Championship was Calin Senciac’s Imagine Vehicles International / ImagineVehicles.com motorsports fabrication shop with an incredible custom billet aluminum designed chassis built by Terry Ward and the shop crew, housing a legendary 1979 Honda CBX 1047cc air-cooled in-line 6-cylinder engine.
The Steve McQueen Desert Racer
Tue, 24 Mar 2009There are few motorcycle icons within pop culture that have endured as vividly as that of the late, great Steve McQueen. A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles. Never afraid of getting dirty, McQueen was at his happiest flogging a bike around the track with fellow racers or tinkering with the machines himself.
Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub
Thu, 23 Apr 2009Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.
